I'm expecting my 3rd baby in May and planning to breastfeed. Since my son's birth 8 years ago, I've discovered that I have a sensitivity to lanolin. I was just wondering if anyone can recommend some lanolin free options for sore cracked nipples? I'd like to be prepared from the start and pack my hospital bag early.

I would make my own nipple salve with a pain relieving herb like Plantain Mullein or calendula. I would infuse the herbs in olive oil for a month or 2 and then strain the solids and add melted beeswax to thicken to a slurry so it wouldn't just run all over the place.
